1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

backgroundIntestinal obstruction, characterized by the impaired transit of intestinal contents due to various etiologies, constitutes a prevalent surgical emergency. In certain cases, surgical intervention becomes imperative, wherein intraoperative intestinal decompression is frequently necessitated. Ensuring effective decompression while minimizing contamination of the operative field constitutes a pivotal step that exerts a direct influence on postoperative outcomes.

aimTo assess the clinical efficacy of cannula-assisted decompression techniques employed during intraoperative intestinal decompression procedures.

methodsA retrospective cohort analysis of 70 patients diagnosed with small bowel obstruction and treated at the Department of General Surgery, Anqing Municipal Hospital, between January 2023 and November 2024 was performed. Of these patients, 37 underwent cannula-assisted decompression, while 33 received conventional enterotomy decompression. The clinical utility of the cannula-assisted technique was evaluated by comparing intraoperative variables and postoperative recovery indicators between the two cohorts.

resultsThe cannula-assisted group exhibited statistically significant advantages over the conventional decompression group in terms of reduced operative duration for intestinal decompression, increased volume of evacuated intraluminal contents, and diminished contamination of the surgical field (

conclusionThe application of cannula-assisted decompression techniques effectively facilitates intraoperative decompression of the small intestine, reduces procedural duration, mitigates surgical field contamination, and expedites postoperative recovery.
